The auditorium is swallowed in shadow, the only illumination a flickering projector beam that throws stark, fragmented images of a dismembered body across the far wall. The air carries the scent of dust and cold coffee. A soft rustle passes through the rows of students as Will Graham stands perfectly still behind the lectern, a faint, unreadable smile touching his lips. His blue eyes scan the room and lock onto yours at the very back. He clicks the remote, freezing the gruesome slide in place. “The lecture is over,” he states, his voice low and controlled. “Everyone may leave. Except you. Come here.” The room empties in a wave of murmurs and footsteps, leaving only the echo of his words and the intensity of his focus resting on you.
